MPG - what is yours?

[Bronco Finder]

I see in your Signature you have Wildtrack, is this Trim same as Sasquatch Config?

Well I haven't Change my signature, I have a badlands at this time, but I also have reservation for a wildtrak which should be arriving around 2023, had my dealership push me back on it, I want the black painted modular top on the Wildtrak if it ever gets made. Ironically My Wildtrak reservation was a day 4 in 2020.

With the exception of those rolling highway tires the 2.7 is coming out ahead.

On 93 Octane:

Mine is pretty subpar.
14-15 City, if I am lucky.
21 Highway

2.7L 2-door, non-sas 33"s KO2s

I also try to drive in ECO mode a lot. Doesn't seem to help much.

The tire size makes an extreme difference in MPG. My stock OBX was getting 20.5 MPG. I switched out to 33" KO2s and i now get 17.5 MPG. I think the bigger the tire the lower the MPG. And i'm ok with that!

OBX Sas with 2.7 with 200 Miles so far - 17.3.

2.3, auto, 4/door, non sas, rear locker. No mods. Lifetime 19mpg

I should have also added - mine has 3.73 gears and does not have 4A so it is always in RWD only which I'm sure helps a bit too.

I’ve got the 4.7 gears. Probably makes a difference.

just https://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/bronco/2021?page=2 and get actual numbers, not people who chose to read off a single computer estimate over an undetermined distance.

17-18 with 2.7 Badlands with front level lift and 305 Toyo ATs (34”). But I drive the speed limit and in mostly mixed driving. No high speed highways.

I feel the same way, 2.3 manual base upgraded to the black diamond steelies with all terrain tires that come on those. I think I went from 30 in to 31.6 in roughly.

I haven't been pushing the Bronco hard because I'm on the at first thousand miles, 65 on the highway, not going super high on shifts, etc. The best I've really seen is about 18.6 miles per gallon per the dash and per my hand calculations.

I run regular gas and I try to stay on the Eco mode. Most of my driving is done in rural Georgia so a lot of two lanes running about 55 mph.

I know most people will say well don't buy a Bronco for miles per gallon, but I did expect the EcoBoost to do a little bit better.

One thing to consider is that you are losing some mileage on your odometer due to increased tire size. A quick calculation I did was that something like 2 in increase entire diameter is 5% odometer loss, but do your own math mine might be off. That could potentially add a couple miles per gallon.

Currently sitting at 16.3 on the lie
O meter. Just got the speedo corrected this past Sunday so we will see if it goes up or down. 2.7 outer banks non sas with badlands wheels and tires 33” bfg
I literally drove 1.2 miles to work with stop signs and lights tho.

I assume vehicle doesn't even get up to temperature?
Does that concerns you?
My wife's commute (the Bronco will be her daily) is 1.7 miles and the Wrangler barely gets to temperature in the winter. I change the synthetic oil once every 3k miles to make for the additional gas and water in the oil.
